The Time is Now - A Declaration of Life and Freedom

We, the People of this Earth, are completely fed up with the continuous war machines
of our so-called governments. We, the Earthkeepers, are utterly disgusted with the constant need to fight to clean
up and heal our planetary body. We, the Lovers of Life, are exhausted by our ceaseless struggle to end misery,
suffering and poverty and to produce respect and nourishment for all life.

We announce here and now that our vision is established on this planet. We declare
today that our battle is won. We state to all that the warmongers have fallen, and we can live in peace. We
proclaim that we have the right to live unharassed and according to our internal, universal laws, and not by the
laws of a handful of egotistical men and coercible women. We announce that the vested interests, who continually
fabricate conflict to pad their pockets, no longer have any say on this planet. We vow that they cannot stir us to
do evil to our fellow men and women in the name of some phony cause. We pronounce these greedy, uncaring, mentally
ill people subverters and disturbers, provokers and perverters. We assert that they are not our authorities, they
do not carry our vision, they are incapable of building a loving world because they create disturbance for profit.
We maintain that we are more capable to determine the way of living because we respect the individual, because we
recognize existential liberty, because we have no desire for control over someone else's thinking and destiny. We
insist that our way is the most egalitarian, the most spiritual, the most sacred.

We are not bellicose like the present ruling parties, and we have no desire or right
to enter anyone else's land, remove anything or anyone, or harm any of the occupants or the land itself. We will
not be told that our way is wrong, utopian or naive and that there is no other way but the unending killing and
seizure of living beings or their property. We will not participate in this warped way any longer.

The governing bodies, whether sacred or secular, consist of criminals who have
broken universal and humanitarian laws millions of times. They have killed, tortured and kidnapped billions of
living beings against their will. We break ourselves from this mentality, from this disease. We turn away in
disgust from this deluded and unconscious state.

We declare here and now that our vision is clearer, more encompassing, more
compassionate, and as such, we deserve the right to establish it here and now, on this planet, without regard to
the present system, which is corrupt and dying. We disassociate ourselves from this dead and hateful system here
and now to pronounce a new covenant, not with an unknown and aloof god but with each other, as sentient beings
whose right to live is guaranteed by our own determination. Our covenant is not within the confines of any religion
but requires simple religiousness. It needs no belief, no ritual but incorporates all worthy visions with respect.
Our understanding is not dependent on any external authority but comes through our own cognizance, our own knowing.
Our covenant is ever-changing according to necessity and has no dogma. Our oath depends on our trust in our own
intelligence and in that of others. We are all sublime creatures. We are all divine creators. We are one.

"Murdock's scholarship is relentless! ...the research conducted by
D.M. Murdock concerning the myth of Jesus Christ is certainly both valuable and worthy of
consideration." —Dr. Kenneth L. Feder, Professor of Archaeology, Central Connecticut
State University, Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries: Science and Pseudoscience In
Archaeology

"I find myself in full agreement with Acharya S/D.M. Murdock... I
find it undeniable that...many, many of the epic heroes and ancient patriarchs and
matriarchs of the Old Testament were personified stars, planets and constellations..."
—Dr. Robert M. Price, The Pre-Nicene New Testament

"I can recommend your work whole-heartedly!" —Dr. Robert Eisenman,
James the Brother of Jesus and The New Testament Code,
RobertEisenman.com

"...I have found Murdock's scholarship, research, knowledge of the
original languages, and creative linkages to be breathtaking and highly stimulating."
—Rev. Dr. Jon Burnham, Pastor, Presbyterian Church, Houston, TX

"Acharya S deserves to be recognized as a leading researcher and an
expert in the field of comparative mythology, on a par with James Frazer or Robert
Graves—indeed, superior to those forerunners in the frankness of her conclusions and the
volume of her evidence." —Barbara Walker, The Women's Encyclopedia of Myths and
Secrets and Man Made God

"I've known people with triple Ph.D's who haven't come close to the
scholarship in Who Was Jesus?" —Pastor David Bruce, M.Div, North Park
Seminary, Chicago, HollywoodJesus.com

"Thirty years ago, when in divinity school, I might have had second
thoughts about becoming an Episcopal priest if a book like D. M. Murdock's Who Was Jesus? had been available to me." —Bob Semes, Retired
university professor of History and Religion, Founder and Executive Director of The
Jefferson Center

"Ms. Murdock is one of only a tiny number of scholars with the richly
diverse academic background (and the necessary courage) to adequately address the
question of whether Jesus Christ truly existed as a walking-talking figure in
first-century Palestine." —David Mills, Atheist Universe
